I didn't take this picture but my Aunt did early yesterday morning.  Thought it was a beautiful pic of the barn and landscape. 

Some Monday morning photos.

Are their any youth hostels open this time of year y'alls way? I can't bear another Sleet Fest imby. I'm on A budget. I would love to experience a storm like this one somewhere near or in the Black Mountains? (Is Pitching a tent on the Mt.Mitchell obs deck legal?) Haha

Thx for any ideas !!

Nothing like that around here that I can think of. You just have to get a cheap hotel or something. 

Still snowing with an additional 2.5 inches overnight.  Bringing total storm accumulations to 15 inches. Not bad for the first of December. 

Its snowing again at a decent clip. Have picked up another half inch so far.

Lol... it just happened to be booked for that weekend,  couldn't change.  I remember my wife was so nervous they were gonna close cowee or balsam on us.

Yeah that was one of those long duration snows that stuck around because it got cold after the storm. Lol we where only suppose to get like 1 inch from that storm... The Biltmore is beautiful this time of the year with all the lights especially in the snow.

I won a trip there for the weekend this time last year.  We checked it on a Friday the same day we got that foot of snow.

Yeah I remember because that was the weekend I took this girl I was dating to the candlelight dinner. You picked the perfect time to go last year.

Met, are you working at biltmore?

 

Still no power here at my house

No I'm just a pass holder so I take advantage of it. I'm going to start at the paper mill next week.

Jim is a really cool guy to talk to, helped me and some others push someone's truck out of the snow (I believe that was shown on TWC?) and was cracking jokes with the people who were there.

Hey met! I'm actually looking at buying some land in Wisconsin around the Dells and building a place there in the future.  

Nice man. Land in a lot of parts of Wisconsin are very affordable.  The Dells are a huge tourist attraction.

Love it man. So you back then? 

Got to love the lee side warm time

Yep I'm back for good.

This is home forever and ever...

Yeah we went from light snow to heavy snow again. Picked up about another half inch. Anything here on out is icing on the cake.

My phone and no not using taptalk

What I do is I post pics to Facebook then I save the pic to my phone. Then I click the "click to choose files" besides the insert other media in the box to right something.  I hit that then hit files from my phone and the pic is there that I saved to my phone and its already formatted for the correct size. If that helps any.

I have right at 12 inches so far. Iv saw some posts around the county that they have upwards of 14 to 15 inches and counting.  That's a win in my book.

Well after seeing about everything you could see the last hour or two in a winter storm we are back to heavy wet snow again. We are at 7.5 inches and counting. 

Well this is turning to sh!t real quick. We have sleet and freezing rain now. You can see the glaze on top of the snow now...

7 inches here! Man we have been getting blasted tonight. We are getting some mixing of sleet currently but its 80/20 with mostly snow. 

Yeah it is slap cranking out there. Heavy heavy snow currently. 

We have 5.5 inches where I'm at in Haywood and it's still putting it down.  Lots of power outages also. This snow is very dense.

Man it's just dumping here finally! It's that heavy thick snow that you can here laying on the ground.
